1966 Pontiac Catalina convertible - formerly owned by a NUN!
`The time has come to let this one go. I've owned it for almost five years, but we're doing a project at the house and I'm out of room and need it gone.
I bought this from an attorney who restores high end cars that aren't so much for driving, so when an attorney friend called to advise that he was disposing of the estate of a retired nun and this was in the garage, he grabbed it as a driver. Really cool history to go along with it - two vintage key chains (one of them listed as being made in Siam), blessed mother statue that magnetizes to the dash, Patron Saint of Travel medallion for the glove compartment to keep you safe, 1966 Kleenex box in the glove compartment, several photos and receipts from about 1974 into the 1980's. It has what appears to be 65,xxx original miles. This car is a driver. It seems to fit nicely into that category between basket case that needs restored and $25K plus car. You can drive it while doing what you want to sport it up. It doesn't look as good as it does in the pics, but it looks like a 50+ year old driver that generates thumbs up and conversations wherever it goes. What it is / what I've done / the good:
What it needs / the work to be done:
I AM INCLUDING a 1966 tri-power that came off of a running engine about two years ago. It clearly has had some incorrect parts applied at some point, but it's all there and working. If you want it restored, the guys in Chicago can do it thoroughly, or you can order the few parts you need and sport it up yourself. I AM INCLUDING a spare set of good 8 lug wheels, including rims, and drums that have plenty of meat on them. I can get 800-1000 for that set if you don't want them. Asking $12,000. Car is located in metro Detroit. Happy to have people come out and see it or send an inspector to look at it for you. |

Trying to link to an album and it's not working. How did I get old and lose the ability to work simple technology tasks overnight?? Stay tuned. More to come.
